5 Times People Called 911 For The Dumbest Reasons

The Lost Phone That Needed A Ringtone

A caller contacted 911 in distress because they had lost their phone and wondered if an officer could call the phone so they could hear it ring. The logic was almost impressive: if a cop calls it, they’ll hear it, and then they can find it. Except that’s not how emergency services work. The caller received a fine of up to $2,000 instead of a rescue mission.
